Virginia Western Community College has received a $343,209 Advanced Technological Education (ATE) grant from the National Science Foundation, the U.S. government’s independent science agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three-year grant will fund the College’s project, “Cross-Pollination Skillsets: Growing Mechatronics and Agricultural Collaborations for Producing Skilled Agricultural Technicians,” which will test Virginia Western faculty members’ ideas to improve technician education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are very grateful to receive this substantial grant from the National Science Foundation,” said Dr. Robert Sandel, Virginia Western’s president. “Our faculty are always seeking innovative ways to equip our students to meet community needs, and this collaboration builds on that strength.
